Beautiful looking boats. Has anyone ever cruised in one? Offshore?
Both are considered higher-end sportfishing cruisers I believe....I want to say the Blackfin is popular in California, but i think I'm thinking of Blackman boats....also very sweet. Alot of Bertrams from the 70s and 80s kicking around. The newer stuff comes with a pretty hefty price tag....of course, depending who you are lol. (everyone but the 2%'ers!)

It was an older model completely refinished.
The only drawback were the 2- big block gas suckers.
Diesels would have made that boat.
I've spent quiet a few hours on both a 28' and a 31' foot Bertram, not offshore though. They handled pretty rough chop no problem from my experience. You see hundreds of them in mexico rigged up for offshore fishing. Beautiful boats with a nice dancefloor for playing fish. Oh and very nice for catching salmon as well
There is one on the North end of the Island.

I have fished aboard both in Cabo, both had diesels and were great boats. I liked the ride of the blackfin in a big following sea a bit better but both hulls performed well and raised billfish
That's the one i fished from, it used to be owned by Ken Moyes
who ran it out of the Oak bay marina years go.
Scott that is one of my all time favorite boats !!!! I think it was called sweet pursuit wasn't it?
Kenny is a crazy man! Lol

You know Kenny eh Trev ?
Last time i saw him, he was still partying hard at 70+ years old
he's one of the funniest guys I've ever fished with.
I saw a 32 Blackfin anchored at Tree Island near Ladysmith last year and it looked like the owners used it as a cruiser. She looked like she would have rather been fishing the wreck.
